Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation

JACKING AND LIFTING

WARNING:

-

Shut off the electrical power to the air suspension system prior to hoisting or jacking an air suspension equipped vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

-

Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. The jack could unintentionally lower. Always support vehicle with floor
stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

-

Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the vehicle on an uneven or soft surface may result in
vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or jackstand. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

-

When jacking or lifting the vehicle, block all wheels remaining on the ground. Set the parking brake if the rear wheels will remain on the
ground. These actions help prevent unintended vehicle movement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury.

CAUTION:

-

The jack provided with the vehicle is intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle,
never use the jack to hoist the vehicle for any other purpose. Refer to the Owner's Literature when using the jack supplied with the
vehicle.

-

Do no attempt to use jack pressure on either the front bumper or the rear bumper of any vehicle. Damage to the bumper covers will
occur.

Jack and lift the vehicle using the Jacking and Lifting Points procedure.

Jacking Points

Push the air suspension service switch to the OFF position.

To lift the front or either side of the front end, position the floor jack or the hoist under the front frame lift points.
